3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off and check the coolant level; top up the
coolant as necessary.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the condi-
tions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched off and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe
engine damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be caused
by an operating problem at the coolant fan. Check the fuse for the coolant fan, replace
it if necessary page 247, “Fuse assignment in engi ne compartment - version 1” or
 page 248, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment - version 2”.
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is at the

Unlocking and locking
40

Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central locking
system fails page 43, “Emergency unlocking and lo cking of the driver's door”. You
can lock or unlock manually the other doors and the boot lid.
Emergency locking of the door page 43.
 Emergency unlocking of the boot lid page 48.
KESSY system* - DescriptionThe KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking and
locking of the vehicle and a start-up without ac tively using the remote control key. It is
sufficient to carry the key with you, for example in your pocket, for unlocking and
locking the vehicle or for starting the engine.
The functions of the central locking system , the safe securing system* and the anti-
theft alarm system* correspond to vehicles without KESSY system. Only the control
elements are different.
Control elements of the system:
Sensor on the outside of the door handle for the front door fig. 26 - serves
for locking the vehicle,

Sensor on the inside of the d oor handle for the front door fig. 26 - serves for
unlocking the vehicle.
Unlocking and locking the vehicleFig. 26 KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle
If a valid remote control key is located in the area fig. 26 or of the vehicle, it
is possible to unlock the relevant door of this area. This means, if the key is located in
the area , you can unlock the front left door. If the valid key is located in the area ,
it is possible to unlock the boot lid.Unlocking the vehicle– If you hold the door handle of the front door or cover the sensor  fig. 26 with
the whole palm of your hand, the vehicle is then unlocked. If you cover the sensor and at the same time the sensor when unlocking, the vehicle is not
unlocked.Locking the vehicle– Close the driver or front passenger door.
– If you touch the sensor with your finger s, the vehicle is now locked (while doing
so do not hold the door handle, othe rwise the vehicle cannot be locked).
– On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved into
the position P before unlocking.Deactivating safe securing system*– Use your fingers to cover the sensor twice within 2 seconds.Unlocking and locking the boot lid– If you press on the handle of the boot lid, the lid is then unlocked. If the vehicle is
fitted with the electric boot lid* system, the lid begins to open after pressing the
handle.
– If the boot lid is closed, it is locked.
Check locking
After locking the vehicle with the aid of the sensor fig. 26 , it is not possible to
unlock the vehicle with the aid of the sensor for 2 seconds. Thus, it is possible to
check if the vehicle is locked by pulling on the handle.

Caution
After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, this is why you should pay
attention to the procedure for locking the vehicle page 40.
Note
If the vehicle battery or the battery in the remote control key is weak or discharged,
perhaps the vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked via KESSY. In such a case, use the
emergency unlocking or locking of the driver's door, see Owner's Manual.Further possibilites of lockingProtection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If the key, which was used to lock the vehicle, remains in the vehicle in the area
 page 40, fig. 26 after locking and closing all of the doors including the boot lid, the
protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle is activated and the
vehicle unlocks itself again.
You are informed about the activation of the protection against inadvertently locking
the key in the vehicle by the turn signal lights flashing and the message Key in vehicle
which appears in the information display* or Key in vehicle which appears in the
display of the instrument cluster. Additiona lly, on vehicles which are fitted with the
anti-theft alarm system*, an audible signal sounds.Messages in the instrument clusterA few warning and information texts of the KESSY system in the information display*
or in the display of the instrument cluster:
Key not found or No Key
This message is displayed when the engine is started and the system cannot detect a
valid key in the vehicle. This can occur if the key is outside the vehicle, the battery in the
key is discharged, the key is defective or the electromagnetic field is strongly disturbed.
This message is also displayed when the ignition is switched on or the engine is
running and the system cannot detect a valid key in the vehicle. Keyless defective or Check Keyless
There is a fault in the KESSY system, contact your specialist garage.
Renew key battery! or Key Battery
Low voltage is present in the battery of th
e remote control key, change the battery.
Parking the vehicleIf the vehicle is not unlocked within 60 hours, the sensors page 40, fig. 26 and
in the handle of the front passenger's d oor are automatically deactivated. For reac-
tivation, one of the following conditions must be met:
Unlocking the driver's door with the aid of the sensor page 40, fig. 26 ,

pressing the handle of the boot lid,

unlocking the vehicle using the button on the remote control key,

emergency unlocking of the driver 's door (see Owner's Manual).
If the vehicle is not unlocked within 90 hour s, the sensors and in the handle of
the driver's door are also automatically deactivated page 40, fig. 26. For reactiva-
tion, one of the following conditions must be met:

unlocking the vehicle using the button on the remote control key,

emergency unlocking of the driver 's door (see Owner's Manual).
Convenience operation of the windowsIf you hold your finger on the sensor page 40, fig. 26 for more than 2 seconds
while locking the vehicle, the opened windows and the panoramic sliding roof are
closed. If you lift your finger off the sens or , the closing process is interrupted. If you
touch the sensor again, the closing process of the windows and the panoramic
sliding roof continues.
If you immediately touch the sensor or pull on the handle during the closing
process of the windows and the panoramic sliding roof initiated by sensor , all of the
windows and the panoramic sliding roof are opened again.
